(3 cr.) From the mid-16th through the 18th century,
movements such as the Renaissance, the
Reformation, the development of the modern
sciences and increasing international trade and
colonization introduced a new era of philosophy.
Students explore human understanding, critically
analyzing issues that potentially include the
mind-body relationship, freedom and determinism,
the nature of reality, the existence of God,
perception, personhood and personal identity, the
scope and limits of knowledge, and the value and
limitations of our intellectual heritage from
this period. Authors may include Descartes,
Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume and
Kant.
